The Oracle has given Evander back his sight! He tells me that it isn’t forever, that it can take back what it has gifted, but in this moment I am happy to see his beautiful eyes watching the expressions on my face, seeing me.
I squeeze Evander’s hand.
But his hand is no longer there. Looking around, the scene changes and I am surrounded by a shadowy forest. Sitting in a hollow are two young women, one of whom is surrounded by crystals.
“On this day,” my Mother’s voice greeted me. “You asked me for a boon. I heard you small fae child, for I listen to the whims of

[Rosalynd] “Where are we,” I ask Evander as he holds onto me. “I’m not exactly sure, “ he admits. The scene before us is a pleasant one. We are in a house of sorts, although it feels like something much bigger, somewhere between a traditional home and a conference hall. The room where we are standing is large and full of light and warmth with a homey, lived-in feeling. The hardwood floors gleam with fresh polish and colorful rugs add a touch of softness to the otherwise hard lines of the space. Looking out the floor-to-ceiling windows, I notice the yard is lightly forested, more urban than the dense redwoods on Axel's property.
Little Red Riding Witch Faerie Bells
[Axel] “Silver bells….silver bells…It’s Christmas time in the city….” I wake up singing out of tune. It is way too soon to be thinking about Christmas. We haven’t even had Halloween yet. Pinching the bridge of my nose, I attempt to sit up but settle for just propping myself up a bit against a stack of pillows. My head is pounding and my ears are ringing, the light in my room almost unbearable. “Never again,” I say to no one in particular. My wolf, Conner, chuckles. “I told you to stop at two,” he laughs at my pain. Since I’m in control of my body at the mom
Little Red Riding Witch Family Connections
[Gideon] Axel’s grandmother must have been a very interesting wolf if what I’m seeing in this trunk is any indication. Axel’s family line looks a lot more diverse than one might suspect from Axel himself. Maybe that is why he was drawn so strongly to Rosie, and how she could be his second-chance mate. I have a feeling that even if he had still been mated with his ex-wife, Rosalynd’s claim would have been stronger. Axel certainly has a very interesting family tree. But how do I tell Axel how interesting his lineage is without warping his whole sense of reality? I mean, I guess I could let Evander be the one to tell him…although something tells me that the news might come better from someone who is not Fae.
Little Red Riding Witch Legacy
[Axel] "Not possible," I shake my head vigorously. This crazy witch has no idea what he is talking about. I knew my Grandmother. She was a wolf. She had a wolf form. She birthed several powerful wolves, including my father. There is no way she was a faerie. "She was a witch and a wolf. Everyone knows that." "Oh really," I want to wipe the smug look off of Gideon's face. Even when he is trying to look helpful he comes across as a bit of an arrogant ass. "I don't deny she had some witch powers, but I don't think she was actually a witch. These items are too old. Like almost immortally old. A witch hybrid wouldn't have lived long enough to have anything this ancient." Taking a look again at the two pi
Little Red Riding Witch Fae Blood
[Axel] “Okay, hold up,” I stare at Gideon, my face frozen in shock. “You can’t just drop something like that on a person. How on Earth can my grandmother be alive? She was old when I was a kid. AT least 65-70 years old. She died 20 years ago. That would make her around what, 95? 100? No way. She was a tough old wolf but no.” “Your father is nearing 70 and would you expect him to die soon?” Gideon presses. “He’s still one of the most powerful Alphas in the pack. Strong enough that you trusted him to guard your pack children and elderly. Does he look anywhere as old or frail as the other elders?” I never really thought about how special my f
Little Red Riding Witch What Faerie Wants
[Rosalynd] My heart soars with the knowledge that both Gideon and Axel will be joining us soon. I hadn’t realized how much I had missed them both in such a short time. Evander and I have had months here together, but he warns me that time moves differently between the realms. Fae live so much longer than humans, that it is no bother for us to live in Faerie at a speed that seems twice as fast as Earth. If anything, it gives us an advantage. When it takes your children 50 years to reach maturity, it wouldn’t hurt if that time could be cut in half by human standards. And when you are near immortal, time starts to mean nothing anyway. Evander and I have grown much closer since the Oracle dropped us back at home. We needed to go on that journey together, to see the truth of
Little Red Riding Witch Hot and Bothered
[Evander] “Evander, this is a terrible time to have a child.” “I know,” I try to take a step away from her, but instead I grasp her closer. I am already so drunk with her scent, that it would be so easy to lose control.“So why would Faerie demand it of us now?” She looks genuinely confused. “What advantage could we have with me being potentially pregnant? Wouldn’t I be weaker? More easily harmed?” “Actually…” I start to tell her about our fae traditions, of how our priests would often go out to battle with child, the child’s soul strengthening their own, making them st
Little Red Riding Witch Making Up
[Rosalynd] “Rosie…” Evander reaches out to grab my hand, his voice pleading. "Please try to understand." I snatch my hand away, turning my back to him. I’m still mad at him for dropping me into the pool and walking away without a backward glance. By the time I made it back to my room, soaked and cold, he was long gone. The maids said he needed to “go for a ride” to “clear his head” and blah blah blah. His small rejection hurt me more than I ever want to admit. “Our wedding is in three and a half hours,” Evander reminds me as he places a hand

Little Red Riding Witch See You Next Time
[Rosalynd] I’d like to say this is a happily ever after, and I guess in some ways it is. Girl meets boy. The boy turns out to be a wolf. The girl meets another boy, who is a witch, and then another boy who happens to be a leprechaun. They all fall in love and have a lovely life full of magic and love. But fairy tales only seem simple on the outside. And our story is still beginning. Evander has been busier than ever ruling his kingdom. He spends as much time as he can here, but Tara is calling. Soon, he may need to stay there for longer. I’ll miss having him with me every day, but I understand. And It’s not like I can’t be there with him. It’s just a simple flip of a coin. Axel has taken his new duties as Guardian of the Forest very seriously. His new abilities from his time as the void have made him useful when it comes to detecting warlock mischief. Yes, we are still dealing with the warlocks, as before, but with their leader gone, they are a lot less powerful. Gideon has resum
Little Red Riding Witch New Opportunities
[Evander] I’m not sure what Rosalynd is going to think when she sees this. I hope she takes it well. It’s been two months since our daughters were born and sometimes her emotions overtake her. “My Love,” I call out as I cross the threshold of our home in the woods. Today is Rosalynd’s day with me, and I can’t wait to come back to her from my dealings with the new council, even if I have some difficult news to share. My “surprise” is hidden in the satchel lying across my chest. She’s become such an intuitive witch since the babies were born that it is almost impossible to keep anything from her. She’ll likely sense the contents or see a vision or some other trick of the universe that will reveal everything before I open my mouth to tell her. Sometimes I wonder why any of us boys even bother to try. “Back here!” She responds from the kitchen, her voice strained with effort as if trying to lift something heavy. The kitchen is the last room I’d expect to find her in and prob
Little Red Riding Witch And Babies Make Family
[Rosalynd] The chaotic hubbub that my announcement created would be comical if it weren’t happening to me. Thankfully we didn’t have to worry about much, we already had a room set up for the birth. One of the advantages of being married into a family as magical as mine, I have no shortage of highly capable hands to help me in this new adventure. This birth will be a bit more exceptional for a few reasons. Firstly, I am not entirely a wolf or even a simple hybrid. We have no idea how being part chimera is going to change things. Second, I am carrying two children fathered by two men. None of us know how the DNA was passed or what to expect. Will they be witches, leprechauns, wolves, or something else? The only thing we know for certain is that they will NOT be human. Nor will their powers be weak. They are the children born of deities and avatars, crafted from the flesh of some of the most powerfully magical beings on Earth and in Faerie. Thankfully, the Eel River pack already h
Little Red Riding Witch Now and Forever
[Axel] Things have been different since we returned home. It has been months, and even though everything seems to have settled back to “normal,” there is no denying that things will never be quite the same again. Since the night I agreed to let the Void take over my body, I hear voices in my head. Sometimes I see things that others cannot see, even Rosie, our own personal goddess. I am myself, but I am also something else. Even Connor has been affected. After that night in the bunker, his coat had gone completely black, and his eyes glowed with the hot blue fire of the stars. He insists that he is an unchanged wolf, just better looking, but I would be a fool not to be disturbed by the changes. But today, I promised to put all of that aside for the sake of having one, perfect moment. “Are you ready,” Evander smiles from the doorway. His navy blue tie matches the color of my formal suit. Seeing me struggle with my own tie, he walks into the room and takes over for me. “Cousin
Little Red Riding Witch The White Sword
[Evander] I can feel the moment that Rosie gives into the Void. It feels like a cold chisel cracking into my heart, seeking to break the ties that bind me to her, that bind all three of us to her, leaving only the darkness within. Axel thinks that by welcoming the void in, he is getting his opportunity to be with her forever. But he isn't. The void does not need his soul once the darkness completes its work. As she kisses Axel, sealing their union, I know that even with the Universe’s blessing shining within me, I understand that If I do not act swiftly, we may all be tied to the void forever. Or worse, we could lose her to it. “We claimed her first and that bond cannot be broken so easily,” the Universe speaks to me, through me, filling me with the knowledge of what it sees as it fills my body, taking command. Reaching deep within myself, I can feel the truth of those words. The void tried to break us, but it failed. All three of us are still tied to her with shining cords o
Little Red Riding Witch The Gray Shield
[Gideon] His voice is like a cancer, rotting my soul from the inside out. Vincent. I thought I was free of him when he took Esther south when he left our coven behind. “You can never be free of me,” he laughs in my head. “We were never truly apart. Once you merge a soul with another, you are always connected. I was your coven leader. I will always be your coven leader.” “Not if I kill you,” I promise aloud, my body struggling against the magical restraints that Evander placed on me. His cackling laughter fades into the background. He is done with me for now. I can rest and regain my strength so that I can fight him off again next time. Unlike Slone, there is nothing that he can offer me that I want, so there is no way for him to find entry into the deepest parts of my soul. With Rosie and Evander in my life, I have more than I deserve. I wake up in darkness. The room is cold, colder than I expected it to be. It is like all the warmth vacated the room through every little cr
Little Red Riding Witch Dreams and Nightmares
[Rosalynd] I lie there frozen as I watch the black of his eyes expand to overcome the sclera. Wide and unblinking, they stare into my own and I find myself falling into them, losing all sense of where I am. My body is present in the here and now, but my mind and soul have moved on to someplace so vast that galaxies are formed and die around me as I watch. And I remember. I remember being pulled to a place like this once before, at the moment of my almost death, when I had to make a decision. And I stand in that darkness now, the room gone, only darkness remaining. A man steps forward. Whereas before the void had no shape, now that it has a form to inhabit, he takes the shape that has become familiar and comfortable and wears my fiancé's face as he waits for me to come to him. He is still dressed for a wedding, but the clothing doesn't seem out of place here. In his natural element, the void incarnate looks regal, his body radiating power in dark waves of energy. "Do you remember me
Little Red Riding Witch Dark Wedding
[Evander] By the time I reached his location, it was already too late. Axel fell through the opening in the sky, hungry arms grabbing him and drawing him in. It was as if the void itself took him. I have been flitting through the shadows, looking for a trace of him. Wherever he was taken does not lie within the shadow roads. My best guess is that he is somewhere inside one of these buildings. My worst guess is that he is somewhere I cannot follow, deep in the void itself, unable to reach any of us or call out for help. “If you are listening, Universe, we could use your help.” The universe never answers, at least not with words, but my instincts are telling me to head toward the smaller of the two buildings. I cannot blink beyond the walls without knowing what is on the other side. Which means I need to get close enough, undetected, to see where I might land. And then I need to search and keep going until I find him. Until I can find both of them. Because I am not leav
Little Red Riding Witch Not Quite Right
[Rosalynd] The creature wearing the face of my mate walks towards me. He is dressed for a wedding. Top hat, tailcoat, white gloves, and a silk cravat and dress shirt all in varying shades of black and gray, like fog at midnight. His chestnut-colored hair has been slicked back and put into a ponytail, a ribbon of black silk tying it back. None of this feels right. It isn’t Axel’s style. Even at our true wedding, I would more likely expect him to wear designer cowboy boots and a pair of dark denim. But that isn’t the part of him that bothers me the most. It was his eyes. Black as slate, cold and dark, they are the opposite of those warm, honey-brown orbs that stole my heart all those months ago. “What are you?” I hiss, struggling against my bonds. "And where is Axel? Where is my mate?" He places a gentle hand on my cheek, making a shushing sound as he tries to soothe me. “He's still here, watching you, protecting you. Even now, he fights to be by your side," his fingers re
